Earthship Communities Research Survey

South Ayrshire Council, Sustainable Communities Initiatives and Earthships Moray are working together on a research project to assess the market demand for Earthships and to identify any barriers to future Earthship development.

Basically an Earthship is a highly energy-efficient, passive solar, affordable home which is powered by renewable energy, catches and recycles its own water, deals with its own sewage and is very cheap to run.
